• Data Organization & Optimization - Help build and maintain clean, well‑structured datasets. Identify inefficiencies in how we collect, store, and access data, and propose improvements that make our analysis faster and more reliable.
• Report Development - Contribute to recurring and ad‑hoc reports that translate complex fundamentals into concise, decision‑ready insights for internal and external audiences.

What you will learn:
